Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.239

Hello again painting fans.

This week I'll be continuing with the shadowed Cape May house. I will be using the photo seen directly below.

I will be using my usual acrylics on a somewhat larger 8 by 8 inch gallery-style canvas.(This is a thicker canvas similar to the one used in the towered house.)

When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

Since that time, I have continued to work on the painting.

I didn't get as much done as I would have liked as (too) much time was spent on the roof. And as much attention as it received, I'm still not quite happy with it. It does have highlighted areas and a nice 3 dimensional appearance now but still needs a bit more work. And that eyebrow window is far too large. It is still a work in progress but I did finally move on.

The awnings were next for some attention. I've begun with a base color but unfortunately the details will have to wait for the next installment.

The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.

That's about it for now. Next week I'll have an entirely new piece to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.
